Wilshire
Works Specializes in Products that Enhance Infection Control
Over the past few years a much greater emphasis is being made
by healthcare professionals to identify high risk touch surfaces
that could contribute to hospital and LTC facility acquired
infections and potential hotspots for supporting an outbreak.
These include light and nurse call pull cords, keyboards,
telephones, and even privacy curtains and window blind controls.
Wilshire Works offers a variety of hospital infection control
products to help reduce the nosocomial infection risk to patients,
staff and visitors. Cleanability is the key to saving the
healthcare industry hundreds of thousands of dollars and preventing
F.A.I. mortality.

Sanipull®
Cleanable Vinyl Ribbon Pulls for Over Bed Lights and Nurse
Calls
Replaces Traditional Pulls and Plastic Pull Cords in Hospitals
& Long-term Healthcare Facilities
Sanipull's
family of cleanable replacement vinyl ribbon replacement
pulls for over bed lights and nurse calls reduce the risk
of MRSA, VRE, C-Diff and other contact spread pathogens
being transmitted by staff, patients, residents and visitors.
The innovative Sanipull design also protects fixtures from
over-force pull damage. This switch saving, expense reduction
benefit is a big hit with maintenance departments!
A 2006
hospital publication1 has shown that Sanipull
cleanable pulls along with good housekeeping practices helped
to reduce hospital MRSA and C-Diff rates by up to 50% in
a year long study. Your facility can also reduce facility
acquired infections by retrofitting with Sanipull cleanable
pulls as part of your proactive infection prevention action
plan. Help protect your healthcare facility against an outbreak
and avoid the turmoil and expense associated with nosocomial
infections!
Cling,
string, bead or ball chain and nylon cord pulls are unsanitary
traditional pull solutions still commonly used for patient
control of bed lights and nurse calls. It should be no surprise
that these pulls cannot be disinfected! The Sanipull system
provides a practical and hygienic solution that is appreciated
by front line nurses, housekeeping staff, maintenance personnel
and infection control professionals. Break the MRSA, VRE
and C-Diff infection cycle!
Sanipull
is a superior replacement pull compared to retrofit plastic
pull cords. Plastic cords are cleanable and functional but
their very strong, small diameter profile creates a variety
of safety issues for patients/residents and maintenance
staff. For a full itemized comparison see the Cleanable
Pull Comparison Matrix.
Our
easy to see and easy to grasp Sanipull vinyl ribbon pull
system is proudly designed and manufactured in Canada by
Wilshire Works Sanipull design is patent pending. Wilshire
Works is a Dun and Bradstreet registered company.
Applications
Designed
for hospitals, clinics, long-term care facilities, retirement
homes that are actively taking proactive measures to prevent
and control facility acquired infections.
